I Delirium 7 at Rooftops (Secrets Lounge). 1 1pm—3am. £2.50 (£1 .50 with leaflet). Now the only New Era night still running— until they suss out some more venues at any rate — so your only chance to enjoy their mixture of indie and alternative tunes.
I Earth 375 Sauchiehall Street.
1 1pm—3am. £3 (£1.50 student). Rare and bass grooves. I assume the title meansto ‘get down to it‘. Hee hec. This replacesthe ‘Rain' night — what is it with these Green themes?

I Joy at the Sub Club. 11pm—3.30am. £3.50. Rumours abound that Fridays at the Sub may be on the verge of a radical rethink. so now's the time to go down for one last look at the popular dancin‘ and posin' night.
I Radio City at the Mayfair (Cameo Suite). 10pm—2.30am. £2. Sixties rock merging surprisingly well with 90s rave. with the odd dance record thrown in too. I Rumble at Joe Paparazzi. 10pm—3.30am. £3 (£1 student). The only problem with Rumble is that it's so dark. so big and so popular that if you're hoping to see friends there you really have to arrange it well in advance. Personally. I wish they wouldn‘t inflict full half-hours of bleep~bleep-twiddle on us. but those cavernous green shapes the lasers throw up keep boredom at bay during them. See you on the stairs at half-past one.
I Shag at Fury Murry’s. llpm—Iate. £2.50. Make it your New Year's resolution to get lots of Shagging in in 1991-dance.

Top five platters that matter chosen by

11 .30pm—3.30am).
1. What’s Goin’ On: Marvin Gaye
(Simply the best anti-war song ever, with perfect soulful vocals and a classic orchestral arrangement.)
2. I’m Still in Love with You: Al Green (The Reverend tells it like it is- a seriously sanctified soul groove with the awesome Willie Mitchell producing that Memphis sound.)
3. Harvest for the World: Isley Brothers (Another ‘message’ song — if this doesn’t move you, then you ain’t got soul!)
4. If There’s 3 Hell Belovi, We’re All Gonna Go: Curtis Mayiield (Brother Curtis has never been a man for mincing words. If Cliff Richard had cred, he’d make a record like this— unfortunately. . .)

I The Groove at The Champion. 11.30pm—3.30am. £5 (£3 with matric. card). Still at the ‘building up word-of-mouth' stage.

See DJ's Top Ten. 27 Jan only: Clockwork Orange. 11pm—3am. £1.50.
